    Cowbee also making shit up per usual. Cuba still punished its queers.

    Furthermore, the Marxist–Leninist framework that the regime utilized prioritized a change in production and class relations, with an emphasis on family and sexuality. In addition, the government emphasized the youth as the future of the Revolution which was a fundamental aim of the 1960s. [22] Education was used to promote “moralism” along with a sense of total commitment to the Revolution. In the same breath, anti-Revolutionary tactics were criticized and penalized, therefore listening to American music, wearing mini skirts, and men with long hair were all forms of anti-Revolutionary tactics along with homosexuality.[22] Accordingly, the Revolution defined a qualified citizen as one who promotes a productive labor force and homosexuality along with prostitution were deemed nonproductive and related to American decadence. Furthermore, oftentimes, men who had sex with other men were caught in bar raids to crackdown on commercial sex and drugs in the 1960s. Consequently, the Committees for Defense of the Revolution began to report homosexual people in the 1960s to authorities in response to a possible US invasion.

        Ah, yes! Having some corrupt goons edit and censor the media you consume is the height of civilization!

        A great society to live in! Everyone is immigrating to Cuba! $2 a month salaries!

            Oh silencing Naomi Wu because, while her social media wasn’t about anything that China would ban, engineering and making, she is gay, and her lesbian partner is Uighur. Complaining about the rapidly rising costs of housing, and the comparative stagnancy in pay, will get your social media shut down. Oh if you put a small image making fun of Xi, buried in the background of a densely textured scene, well we will threaten trade with your government to force them to stop the distribution of your game.
